The bottom of each leaf will incorporate a special shape to match the crest of the spillway weirs. The leaves will be fabricated off-site and will be transported to McNary Dam. The size and weight of the leaves may require a barge for transportation. The leaves will be delivered and placed on the dam at a specific site designated by McNary project Personnel. The preferred time period for delivery of these leaves is estimated for September 2019. The closure leaves will be built from structural steel. The fabricator shall be certified under the ASC Quality Certification Program, Category CBR (Standard for Major Steel Bridges).
